News NASCO Superhighway: Bush Admin's Plan to Create a North American Union

[Math Is Hard]

I heard a little bit about this on the radio this morning. The author of this article was being interviewed and he is convinced that this superhighway is a major step toward creating a "North American Union" out of Mexico, the U.S., and Canada.

Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.

The details of the NAFTA Super Highway are hidden in plan view. Still, Bush has not given speeches to bring the NAFTA Super Highway plans to the full attention of the American public. Missing in the move toward creating a North American Union is the robust public debate that preceded the decision to form the European Union. All this may be for calculated political reasons on the part of the Bush Administration.

A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks

OK, so maybe there's nothing sneaky going on here, but the American press seems to have been fairly quiet about this project. This morning was the first I had ever heard of it.

It sounds like the I-69 project, which includes the Trans-Texas Corridor.

If they are truly planning to bring in massive amounts of goods from Mexico bypassing the U.S. ports, wouldn't the U.S. union leaders be going ballistic about this already?

Union membership is down.

What's actually going on with NAFTA is pretty complicated, but basically a few people are making a lot of money, and most are getting by (treading water) and many are falling behind.

Free market is an illusion.
